What'd be better?

My FC's motor is officially shot now. barely running, blowing out gobs of white smoke, popping to and fro, ect...just not pretty. I really wanna keep this car around and build it up for my daily driving/occasional track car. I lost my license like a month and a half ago and wont be getting them back until march, so i'm not rushing to hard to get it back on the road until I can drive again. What, in your opinions, would be the best bang for the buck?

A. buy a junkyard motor and swap it in?
B. Get my motor re-built with a good port job?
C. Save for a FD 13b-tt swap?
D. "other" (non-rotary) motor swap?

a) will probably blow up just as fast
b) best option
c) major $$$$$, not worth it.
d) you want a useless chunk of iron in your car?

Yah, I'm thinking the rebuild w/porting. I checked out that site some you guys reffered before (Rotary Resurrection), seems pretty legit/reasonable.
